Here's Your First Look At Cartoon Jeff And Annie From The 'G.I. Joe' Episode Of 'Community'

The latest cartoon episode of Community, “G.I. Jeff,” airs on April 3. That picture up there is your first look at Joel McHale as a bazooka-toting character named “Wingman.” Below, please find Gillian Jacobs as “Buzzkill,” Yvette Nicole Brown as “Three Kids,” and Alison Brie as a buxom, laser-firing character named “Tight Ship” who appears to have been drawn to give certain corners of the Internet fanboy-related palpitations. And there’s a plot, too!

“[G.I. Joe] was something from our childhood that was very important to us and we had fond memories of it, and we thought it would be a cool way to do another animated episode,” executive producer Chris McKenna tells EW. “Like all Community episodes, it takes on a certain style. This one has a very specific story reason for it. I don’t want to give too much away, but our characters find themselves on a Wizard of Oz-type journey through the world of G.I. Joe. … There’s a mystery that Jeff in particular has to get to the bottom of.”

McKenna goes on to describe the episode as “significant” in the Community world, and says that it is “a loving homage to the G.I. Joe series.” Personally, I don’t see how you can do a loving homage to G.I. Joe without having Marlon Wayans parachute to Earth from outer space, but he didn’t say that won’t be in it, so fingers crossed, I guess.

In my opinion there is and it’s how they grow overall as characters with each other and with their lives. The episodes that bring that to the forefront (without resorting to something so overtly “nerd”) are the episodes I love the most.

Hi, it’s me. Kubo. I haven’t asked you for much lately. You saw fit to make the last four months kind of suck, with the deaths in the family and all. So, I’m asking for a favor now. Please allow this episode of Community transfer from animated format to live-action format (sort of like when Jeff and Shirley played foosball), but without changing the characters’ outfits. If you inspired Dan Harmon to do this, thereby allowing Tight Ship/Annie to appear in that outfit, I will build multiple churches in your name*.

I’m probably alone on that island, but I don’t enjoy it that much when series try to do hommage/parody/cartoon,clay or wathever episodes. It’s still community and it’s still great, but i don’t know, if i wanted to watch cartoons i’d watch cartoons
